    Harry’s having a rough start to the school year. I like that Snape noticed that something happened between Harry and some of his Slytherins. I hope that bruise isn’t hiding more substantial damage.

    Hermione and Ron need to get Harry to see Pomfrey. Great chapter, and great story.

    Another wonderful chapter! I think your descriptions of Harry's emotions as he struggles to heal and deal with his burdens is spot-on.

    I'm glad that Severus is so observant of his Slytherins and of Harry. I hope he'll realize that something is wrong.

    I can understand Harry's reluctance to go to Madame Pomfrey, but he really does need to. It's hard for Ron and Hermione to be so concerned but not be able to persuade their friend to look after himself as he should. I'm wondering if Harry's reluctance stems from a desire to punish himself for Sirius' death, low self-esteem from years of abuse, or simply a desire to have a fuss...probably a combination?

    Looking forward to the next chapter and more on the new professor too.

    Author's Response: I love reading your perceptions as to why Harry responded to the beating the way he did. Of course any of your suggestions could be valid; my own personal take was that Harry was acting like Harry- a Gryffindor who always puts the needs of others before his own. And yes- Channon. He's cool. You'll get to know him in the next chapter. Hugs, SHaria

    Rather unusual, but very well written..

    Author's Response: Well thank you DS, I think. To each his/her own. I'm actually trying to go for a realistic approach (as far as that can be applied to a piece of fanfic which in turn is based upon a fictional world of magic). Aside from Severus and Harry developing a platonic relationship, I do try to follow canon but I also reserve the right to embellish upon JKR's groundwork. (But isn't that what HP fanfic is all about?) Thanks for sharing your impressions and I hope you give the story a chance. SHaria

    This does not bode well for our hero. This year is not shaping up any better than past years. Great chapter. Thanks for the update.

    Author's Response: Don't give up the ship, alifromnm!  Wait and see what happens. Hugs, SHaria

    Oh dear. You left Harry in quite a spot. I do hope he'll be OK. I really wanna get my hands on that Goyle. Not that I'd win, but I'd try. I loved the apology from the Headmaster and the last bit at the Weasley's. Nice chapter!

    Author's Response: Thanks KimSpiritTalks. Yes, I love that scene with Dumbledore and Harry and then the scene in this chapter with Helena. Sorry for the cliffy, everything will work out okay. I'll update as soon as I can. Hugs, SHaria

    Crabbe and Goyle are idiots to blame Harry on the arrests of their fathers. I guess they forget that it isn't Harry's fault that their fathers were there to begin with. The person they should blame is Voldemort, who is the one that put their fathers in danger of being caught. Harry SHOULD have reported what they did. I hope that one of the teachers will notice that Harry is in pain and soon.

    Author's Response:

    You are absolutely correct silverstargirl. Well, Crabbe and Goyle never were the smartest cookies in the jar. It's always easier to place blame elsewhere and I could see Greg chosing to blame Harry (who is the bad guy in their point of view) rather than thinking negatively of his own father. Greg is just being myopic and Vince is supporting his buddy.  You are also correct that Harry should have reported the incident, but as we have seen time and time again in canon; Harry is always trying to handle things himself. Perhaps because he never really had an adult he could go to for guidance when he was young. But don't worry, everything happens for a reason. Hang in there. Hugs, SHaria

    I'm glad to see everything isn't quite all right yet for Harry. I know that sounds crazy, but he has a lot of issues to deal with, and if he was completely straightened out, I'd have to wonder what he was hiding.

    Uh oh, I wonder what Crabbe and Goyle have in plan for Harry. I hope he won't let it get too bad before he tells someone though it seems to be his character to not tell anyone until he has to.

    Now, that they're back at Hogwarts, I can't wait to see how all the additional people are going to factor in and how things are going to go. Good chapter, and I can't wait for more.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the lovely long review EllaEleniel. Just you wait, there's more to come. SHaria
